sweats, A Lot Of Options, basically

Likes: i'd honestly be happy with just about anything! but i adore love confessions/proposals, bittersweet things (like breaking up and getting back together, pining of any sort, etc etc), aus (especially twewy aus, god it's like i'm back in 2008 i love twewy aus), and if you're going the nsfw route, toys, exhibitionism, or masturbation

Dislikes: i'm a bit squeemish when it comes to gore, so nothing graphic! i'm also not a huge fan of canon characters aged up to be the parents of aged down canon characters - so like, for example, kuroyaku being the parents of kenma.

Anything else: thank you in advance!!


Reminder that NOTES are welcome too - just a nice little comment (either plain, or you can even type it up on a nice little graphic/image etc.) for the recipient.


(Comments are going to screened until the reveal on Feb 14. Lockers will be open until the end of Feb 15)

Kunimi considers giving up on volleyball altogether, after their disastrous last year at Kitagawa Daiichi. It takes too much effort and time and none of it seems to be worth it, Kageyama shooting them small looks of hurt betrayal (how dare he, when he, he-), Kindaichi on edge, snappish and frustrated (still trying to meet, countless impossible demands) and Kunimi tired and weary and- (was this supposed to be fun?)

They continue with volleyball though, or well, Kindaichi decides to continue and Kunimi follows, deciding that trying to find a new club would probably be even more trouble.

Seijou is...different. Volleyball is the same, the same grueling practices, the squeak of sneakers on the court, the repetitive thud of the ball but here, Kunimi finds he can breathe easier. It’s not the coaches, Kunimi knows, because they still harp on about the way he plays, about the way he isn’t “energetic” enough. No, it’s Oikawa Tooru.

Oikawa Tooru who commands the court so effortlessly, commands it through respect, who goes out of his way to understand each of his players, to play to each of their strengths, who sees each of them and knows when to push them and when to support them, who works tirelessly, more than anyone else and Kunimi,

Kunimi follows him.

After Kitagawa, Kunimi wasn't sure he wanted to continue with volleyball but now, seeing Oikawa play, getting to play with Oikawa, he's glad he did.

One thing Yuu knew he'd always have, no matter what, was his sense of showmanship. He liked to think he was naturally that attention-grabbing, but he also knew that, even on his low days, he could conjure a sense of circumstance, make himself the star of the show.

Still, there was something to be said for people who blended into the background. He'd always known that a good libero was the sort who was easily overlooked, but that he could never quite be that libero. Too much rolling thunder, too many star receives, and he was always destined to stand out.

Morisuke, though. No-one really paid attention to him when Karasuno and Nekoma played together for the first time, and all Yuu could think was that he was such an incredible libero, so keenly able to pick up on nuance, that of course no-one noticed him. Morisuke could blend into the background with the best of him, and that was why Yuu noticed him.

Now, back in Tokyo and this time, for Nationals, Yuu almost feels bad about it. He knows he's going to make a scene when he sees Morisuke, and he knows Morisuke is going to pretend to be a little annoyed, shrug it off, act casual. Yuu does feel bad. But not too bad that it'd stop him from running, leaping into a hug on sight.

"H-hey, slow down—"

"Morisuke-kun!" he yells. "I missed you!"

"I missed you too," Morisuke says. "Although you could've texted more often if you missed me that much."

Yuu frowns at him. "I don't like texting," he says. "There are only so many exclamation marks that can show how excited I am to speak to you!"

For what it's worth, Morisuke's always had a small smile, like he's in on a secret. Yuu likes how familiar it feels.

"Anyway," he continues, "I brought you something from home."

"Ah, you didn't have to," Morisuke says.

"Oh, but I did," Yuu says. With a flourish, he pulls a box of chocolates out of his bag, hoping they didn't melt on the bus down. "Ta-da!"

Morisuke takes the chocolates with a look of confusion. "Thank you... ? But, uh, why chocolates?"

At that, Yuu puts a hand on his chest to deliver the centrepiece of his show. "Duh," he says, "because I'm confessing to you!"

There's a beat of silence before Morisuke's face flushes bright red, and he takes a step back, still clutching the chocolates. "You—"

"You're outstanding, Morisuke-kun," Yuu says. "I know you try not to stand out, like a good libero, but you have other ways of making yourself great—or are you just naturally great? Probably both." He pauses, putting a finger on his chin in thought. "Either way, you're the best libero I know, but the coolest person, too. So, I like you! Will you go out with me?"

Morisuke doesn't say anything, and for a moment Yuu thinks it didn't work, and he feels all his insecurities crowding at the door to his mind, feels a few cracks appearing in his showmanship. It doesn't last long, though. Morisuke patches up the cracks with a smile so bright that Yuu thinks it'd be like lighting a flare in the middle of a crowd.

"Yeah," he says, holding the chocolates to his chest, "yeah, I will."

Hi nil!! I hope you have a good day :D I wrote you a fic, I hope you like it!

Nishinoya Yuu/Watari Shinji (Haikyuu!!) G

There's something about watching Nishinoya play on the court that sends chills down Watari's spine.

He's in the audience instead of the on the other side of the court and part of him is itching with desperation to play, wishing that he could swap places with the libero on the other team so he could face off with Nishinoya himself. The rest of him is glad that he's right where he is, because at least this way, he can just take Nishinoya in without having to worry about anything else. He can focus his entire attention on the libero, marvel as his agility with the rest of the crowd, applaud his reflexes, and he's not going to stand out any more than anyone else in the crowd.

There's a reason that Yahaba's here watching the match too. Yahaba knows that if he wants anything useful out of this match about how anyone else on the team played, he's going to have to get it himself.

It leaves Watari free to sit there on the edge of his seat, his chin resting in his hands as he watches Nishinoya play. He's paying attention to the rest of the game too, of course, and it's a good game, but, well. Watari has a crush, and he tends to be wholehearted about these sorts of things. He doesn't like doing things halfway and apparently, that extends to his feelings too.

"You didn't even talk to him the last time we walked past Karasuno," Yahaba points out, arms folded across his chest as Nishinoya is swapped off the court. "Does he even know that you like him?"

"Probably," Watari sighs, dragging his gaze away from Nishinoya to watch the rest of the game. He's curious about how the team's receives are doing, now that they don't have Daichi any more. He's curious about what kind of ace Tanaka is going to be.

He's curious about the next time he'll get to talk to Nishinoya. Maybe he'll tell him that he played well. He'll probably congratulate Nishinoya for winning the game, because that seems to be where this one is headed. Maybe Watari will say that he looks forward to when they can challenge each other from opposite ends of the court again.

If he can get any words out when he's actually standing in front of Nishinoya. The unfortunate downside to this crush is that it seems to make his words catch in his throat whenever he tries to say anything to Nishinoya at all. It makes his cheeks burn red, and Nishinoya absolutely has to be aware of this ridiculous crush, because it's not like Watari's doing particularly well and keeping it under wraps. It's one thing that Yahaba's figured it out, but he thinks he heard Kindaichi asking about it the other day and if Kindaichi's noticed, then Watari knows he's doomed.

"If you don't say something to him next time we see him," Yahaba says with a grin, "I will."

"I will punch you," Watari says seriously.

"You wouldn't punch your captain."

"Well, you wouldn't piss your libero off," Watari shoots back. "Besides, if you're going to talk to my crush, then maybe I should talk to—"

"Jeez," Yahaba huffs. "I was kidding."

They both elbow each other, before turning back to the game. Nishinoya is watching his team play, still looking just as serious as ever on the court. It's nothing like the way he is outside of games, easy-going and always so loud and exuberant. Watari likes this serious side of Nishinoya, but he likes that other side of him too. He likes everything, if he's being honest, and just thinking about it is enough to have his face burning all over again.

"You're giving me second-hand embarrassment," Yahaba mutters.

"Shut up," Watari replies. "Aren't you here to watch a game, Captain-san?"

Grinning, Yahaba leans back in his seat and falls silent.

The game goes as Watari expects, when it's this early in the qualifiers. Karasuno has a two-set victory and Nishinoya jumps high in the air with excitement, along with Hinata, as the rest of the team high-five each other.

The teams line up to thank each other, then thank their audience, and Yahaba gets to his feet as the rest of the audience begin filing out of their chairs.

"We're heading off soon, but if you want to bump into Karasuno on the way out, we can take the long way."

"You're a good friend, Yahaba."

"I hope you're aware that I'm fully intending on teasing you about this later," Yahaba tells him, slinging his bag over his shoulder, then checking his phone. "Kyoutani says that Dateko won their match a few minutes ago. He's waiting outside with Kindaichi and Kunimi. I'll tell him that we'll be a little bit longer."

Watari nods in thanks, standing up and following Yahaba out of the spectator section, walking through the halls of the large building, winding their way down to where the players are. Watari puts his hands in his pockets, to hide the way that they're sweating. Yahaba's expression is casual, but Watari can see the way his shoulders are a little tense. He understands; Karasuno is one of Seijou's biggest opponents, after all, and this is the first year that Yahaba is going to be facing them as a starting member. Even if they're nervous for entirely different reasons, it still puts Watari at ease.

"Oh, hey!" Hinata yells out, "is that Aoba Jousai?"

Yahaba and Watari both freeze. Ennoshita turns around, raising an eyebrow, and Nishinoya sticks his head out to the side of the group, his eyes wide as he sees them.

"Hey! Watari!"

Watari waves in reply, because it's better than opening his mouth to speak, only to have nothing come out. Nishinoya walks over to him, his eyes wide and excited, grabbing Watari by the arms.

"So you were here to watch us play! I thought I saw you before. Say something next time, yeah?"

"Uh." Watari blinks. "Yeah. Good match. Congrats."

"Hell yeah!" Nishinoya grins up at him, bright and dazzling, and Watari thinks his knees are growing a little weak. "We're going to make our way up to the top and we're going to play against you guys again! It's going to be awesome."

Watari grins. "Yeah. That sounds good."

"But seriously," Nishinoya says, and the pink tinge to his cheeks must just be from the game, Watari thinks, surely. "Give me a heads up next time you're around, yeah? It'll be good to hang out. Swap a few tips. You know."

"I think Watari does know," Yahaba speaks up, clapping Watari on the shoulder and smiling at Nishinoya. "I'll make sure he says something next time. Right, Watari?"

Watari nods, too caught up in the fact that Nishinoya still hasn't let go of him.

"Noya," Ennoshita calls. "We're heading off."

"Next time," Nishinoya repeats firmly and then, of all things, winks before he lets go of Watari and goes back to the rest of his team.

Yahaba blinks, watching them leave. "Was that just—?"

"Shut up," Watari says quickly. "Kyoutani's waiting for us, right? Let's go."

Humming in agreement, Yahaba turns around and leads the way outside. Watari glances over his shoulder, to find Nishinoya looking back at him too. They smile at each other and Watari feels his heart expand in his chest.

Next time, he thinks. Next time, he's definitely going to say something.
